Firefox turns encrypted DNS on by default to thwart snooping ISPs.
Translation: Firefox hijacks DNS queries and funnels them to a centralized location where they can be monetized. Also, introduces greater chance of malware and spyware as administrators lose control of their DNS security.
This is a user-hostile, invasive move by Firefox, whose business model has become fake-protecting your privacy so they can prevent others from stealing the data they themselves want to steal. From a systems administrator perspective โ a role I spent many years doing โ no one would ever allow such a thing on the network.
Good work, Mozilla.
